Fr. Dominic brings the heat in this homily. Speaking directly from Church teaching, he discusses the critical issues of marriage, divorce, and the sanctity of life, particularly in the context of the upcoming elections here in the United States. He emphasizes the Catholic Church's teachings on these topics, highlighting the importance of adhering to divine law over civil law. Fr.

Ep 96 - Seeking the Eucharist: An In-depth Analysis of Christian Faith and Tradition with Fr. Dom
The Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire
11/22/23 • 74 min
In this episode, Father Dom gives a talk on what we should be most thankful for this holiday season, the Eucharist. Although we took a deep dive into this topic on earlier episodes of the podcast (see Episode 12, Episode 13, and Episode 14), sometimes we need a refresher course on what should truly be at the center of our lives. Father Dom takes you on a deep dive into Holy Scripture, tracing the footprints from Genesis to Revelation that all point us towards the Eucharist. From the grandeur of Abraham, Moses, and David to the humbleness of Isaac and Melchizedek, we explore the covenant and its powerful connection to the Eucharist.
In the footsteps of St. Ignatius and St. Justin Martyr, Fr. Dom wanders through the labyrinth of their profound writings about the Eucharist. Their unwavering belief that the Eucharist is not merely bread and wine, but the actual flesh and blood of Jesus Christ is truly illuminating. As we navigate through the remarkable Eucharistic miracles and the holy sacrifice of the Mass, we uncover the symbolism and significance of the priest's vestments.
